The Daily Show is broadcasting from BU this week (don’t ask me from which theater or how to get tickets – grrr).

I initially signed up to volunteer for the DNC, but later decided to save my energy and vacation days for my real vacation. The number one reason I signed up was for the chance to see my favorite Daily Show correspondent, Stephen Colbert, in person. You know, without traveling to NYC to see the show, and without being interviewed for founding a mockable booster group like “Beautiful Women for Nader.”

So, I’m starting an unofficial Stephen Colbert Watch. Send me your sightings! Make them up, I don’t care. For inspiration, check out the hysterical “celebrity” sightings bulletin board on Boston.com.

Weirdly, the Daily Show crew hasn’t made it to Harvard Square on my lunch hour. Tony sighted Rob Corddry on the Common. Boston.com readers have spotted Lewis Black in front of BU’s Tsai Center (ah-ha! a clue!), and Jon Stewart on Comm Ave.

I’m headed to Charlie’s right now, and hoping Colbert loves the karaoke.

Hello internet. I’m a bit behind on updating my weblog. I’m a bit behind on everything that doesn’t involve building virtual zoos. Peeler installed “Zoo Tycoon” on my computer and I’ve been running home every day after school to save endangered animals and revitalize inner city zoos. Virtually.

I don’t have any pictures of me lying on the couch, drinking beer, and staring into my laptop.

I do have pictures from Jes and Kristin’s birthday party, last month. Fran and I made candy sushi to take to the party. Do not attempt to make candy sushi on your own. You only need marshmallows, rice krispies, butter, fruit roll-ups and gummy worms, but you need at least four hands to mold the sugary ingredients into bite-size pleasure-inducing treats (see below).

Fran is a good partner. Look at how happy she is:

Here’s a pretty roll – note the double fruit roll-up wrap:

The first few sushis looked like ass. We hid them on the bottom of the tupperware:

The party was pretty fun before the sushi made it’s debut. Jamie auditioned a new instrument for the jug band:

Fran and Chris had a funny conversation, I think.

Lesley made a ton of beautiful and tasty cupcakes. But let’s face it, everyone got a lot happier after the sushi. Look at the photographic evidence.

After:

And Jes’s expression can only be identified as rapture:
